BPNW member Kohl up for Pepsi grant

MaryAnn Kohl, owner of Bright Ring Publishing, has been nominated for an education grant from the Pepsi “Refresh Everything” program.

“If I win, I will travel the USA in 2011 and bring hands-on art workshops to 6000+ teachers whose schools do not have art programs! Ultimately this would impact 150,000+ children who have no art at school,” said Kohl, a Bellingham, WA resident.
